I genuinely did not understand that you were asking for documentation. I believe GNU follows the SysV ABI on amd64: https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/elf/x86_64-abi-0.95.pdf

I'm gonna need you to write full sentences because I still have exactly 0 clue what point you're making

What about it?

You're gonna have to be more verbose, sorry.

Uh, GNU does define an OS ABI...

And I'm saying that those people are wrong.

Here's (my modified version of) an example someone came up with on lobste.rs: https://godbolt.org/z/e69b4Tqbs I don't know exactly which optimization passes do what, but a few obse…

But ... surely Sutter ought to know better than to say "because the hardware handles this conversion reasonably, it's a benign case of UB"? Surely he knows that compilers can and w…

Again, I don't know (and never claimed to know) everything that's good and everything that's bad. But I do know some things that are good and some things that are bad.

No, I meant what I wrote. Some things are good, some things are bad. Some people are wrong. There are plenty of subjective areas where people can disagree without being fundamental…

Again, I don't subscribe to moral relativism. Some things are good, some things are bad.

SwiftUI is too big to silently drop. It is too difficult to silently fix.

Some legislation is good, some legislation is bad. Legislation allowing gay people to be gay is good. Legislation enforcing hardware attestation from Google and Apple to access ser…

I've literally seen this in HN responses as well, so many times. What the hell is the point of human interaction if the "human" just forwards a chat bot's response

And approving this kind of regulation doesn't?

A good way to prevent this anti-EU sentiment would've been to not go through with these obviously stupid ideas. Weird that the EU doesn't seem to realize? Or do you think, maybe, t…

And that's why musl's allocator's performance isn't a huge concern for ripgrep

There is no ISO C definition of opendir(), that's a POSIX thing. But yeah, those DIR objects which opendir() returns a pointer to are probably some kind of heap allocated. But we'r…

The way most programs achieve being fast is by re-using allocations. You don't need a fast allocator if you don't allocate. Nothing of what ripgrep does inherently requires frequen…

I would expect 7500 to translate into 0.85 years though, not 7.

That jpeg2png is extremely cool and looks like something which could be built in to image viewers. Naturally, nothing about the "maximally smooth decode" process requires the outpu…

Do you keep your light on constantly? I used to have a lamp that I kept replacing bulbs for "all the time". I didn't understand why since the light bulbs claimed to last for years …

It seems like a pretty normal local maximum situation, no? It's a solution which works "well enough" and means all light bulbs work in all light fixtures and all light fixtures wor…

I think we're giving too much credit to audiophiles. We're talking people who might have discussions on their forums about whether audio buffers in memory allocated with malloc or …
